A MOTHERS SPRING SONG.

The winds blow cold and skies are drear,
Nor to the waiting, listening ear,
Attuned to all earth's harmonies,
Doth spring unfold its mysteries.
Nature delays her treasures rare
The opening buds, warm, scented air.
The hum OF joyous, living things,
Birds, and the brooks low murmuringA
I heed not; glad, content I rest,
Nor join the eager, happy quest
For flowers OF hope bloom in my hart |.
That will not with the spring depart.
One perfect bud lies on my breast
One bird has found its downy nest
Ny bonnie babe! Spring can not bring
A richer, purer offering
Not violets nor summer skies
Can match the blue depths of thine eyes;
And meath the fringed lids so fair
Shines forth a soul, with promise rare

Something like sixty years ago there ap-

named Lorenzo Dow. He profeSseG TO be a
preacher in regular calling, but lie was
claimed by no denomination, although he
rather favored the Methodist persuasion He
was a man of peculiar personal appearance,
very rough in speech, yet possessed of much
originality. On one occasion he was invited
to fill the pulpit of a Methodist church at
the North End, when, after surveying his
audience quietly for few moments, he an
nounced as his text the words: Top Not,
Come Down. His listeners were much
astonished at his text, and still more at his
sermon, which was a TRADE against the pre-
yailng fashion of gathering the hair into a
high knot on the top OF the head. After the
sermon, quite a number of the principal
members came to him, saying: Mr. Dow,
we thought you preached from the Bible,
and there are 10 such words in the book"
He answered: please look at Matt. xiv, Il,
